About the Item

These elegant Art Deco opaline glass pendant lights were manufactured in Germany in the 1930s, a period celebrated for its refined industrial design and the rise of modernist lighting across Europe. Salvaged from a pre-war public building in central Germany, each piece reflects the country’s reputation for meticulous glassmaking and precision metalwork during the interwar years. The hand-blown opaline glass shade is classic to early 20th-century German design—an open-bottomed form that produces a beautifully soft, diffused glow while directing a gentle pool of light downward. Its smooth, double-layered form was engineered to provide even illumination in large communal interiors such as schools, civic halls and municipal offices. Retaining its original chrome-plated gallery, the pendant shows the clean geometry and functional detailing typical of German Art Deco lighting, where simplicity and craftsmanship were valued over ornamentation. Sensitively restored for contemporary use, it now offers an elegant, timeless presence suited to both residential and commercial settings. A striking statement light for kitchens, dining rooms, retail spaces, bars, restaurants, cafes and boutique hotels—bringing original 1930s European design into modern interiors.
